Gender And Climate Change Finance
WEDO challenges the dominant approach to climate change that prioritizes market-based solutions over human rights-based policies which seek to protect the most vulnerable. By documenting the key economic dimensions of climate change policies and processes and their implications for women, WEDO advocates for climate change financing that is gender sensitive.
